Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) is a technique for identification of modal parameters by measurement of only the system's response. On many lightweight structures, such as load-speaker cones and disk drive read/write heads, is impossible or impractical to measure the input forces. Another characteristic of lightweight structure is their sensitivity to mass loading from sensors. The Scanning Laser Doppler Vibrometry(SLDV) allows response measurements to be taken without mass loading. One disadvantage of OMA testing compared to tradition input output modal testing is the OMA mode shapes are un-scaled. This means that the mode shape obtained from an OMA test can not used for analytical structural modification studies. However, the un-scaled mode shapes from an OMA test can be used to update a Finite Element Model (FEM). The updated FEM can then be used to analytically predict the effect of structural modifications. This paper will present the results of an OMA test performed on a simple plate and motor in operating conditions. The un-scaled mode shapes from this test will be used to update a FEM model of the system. The updated FEM model will be then be used to predict the effect of attaching a mass to the plate. The shapes predicted by the FEM for the modified system will be compared to a second OMA test on the modified system

It is necessary for development of drawing product with press to have suitable material selection & all process design and the problem during press process has been cleared from judgement of experience & trial and error. Recently we can estimate press process result from computer aided design & FEM. But we can get more reliable result when we can put more precise process variants during FEM. In case of using a drawbead that is used for the material inflow, it is considered for us to put material property, other analysis condition & friction figure when material is passing through the drawbead for better FEM. From our study, we have drawn an analogy bead connection depth, friction figure & drawing and restraining load according to kinds of lubrication from experiment & FEM for the drawbead. We applied above result to the drawing experiment & FEM and confirmed the validity. We could notice the relation between friction figure & drawing load and the friction figure variation according to kinds of lubrication. It is expected to draw more precise analogy that can be used for real process due to more precise process variants application to FEM.

In this paper, the discharge characteristics of AC PDP, one of the leading technologies currently under development for large-area flat displays, is computed by using Finite Element Method(FEM) combined with Flux-corrected Transport(FCT) algorithm. Up to now, many simulations of AC PDP have been mainly done by Finite Difference Method(FDM). But we simulated the AC PDP by using FEM-FCT method which discretizes the region of interest with unstructured grids. FEM-FCT method can reduce the computational cost because of refining locally where the physical quantities have steep gradients and is more efficient in solving discharge problems, such as a AC PDP. Results are presented in Ne-Xe(4%) gas mixture for a gas pressure of 400 Torr and as the discharge proceeds, the space and time variations of the electron and ion densities, potential and wall charges on the dielectric are described. Results from our simulation by FEM-FCT are similar to those from simulation by FDM and are more efficient in computational cost reduction.

The FEM(Finite Element Method) can be used to analysis SRM(Switched Reluctance Motor) as it can account for the salient pole geometry of the stator and rotor and the nonlinear properties of the magnetic materials. However, FEM requirers a lot of computer memory and computing time because, the kind of SRM drivers is verity and the switching strategies are various for one SRM driver. In this paper we proposed the method of analysis of a SRM which results are similar to FEM and has very short computing time. The Inductance and torque for each phase current at each rotor position are calculated by using two-dimensional nonlinear FEM analysis. Using the look-up table of inductance and torque and the voltage equations of SRM we obtained the phase current and torque. To verify proposed algorithm, 3 phase 6/4 SRM is analysed and found a good agreement with FEM results. And computing time is about 1/1600 of the FEM analysis.

315Fr compressor motor exceeds vibration specifications. To find the reason, first a modal impact test with free-free condition is done. Second a modal test with fixed condition is done. Thereafter the test results are compared with FEM simulation results. Using free-free condition modal impact test, FEM simulation conditions (boundary, mesh..) are modified. The motor has rolling motion around 120Hz. FEM simulation also shows same result. FEM simulation will be used to develop other series compressor motors. Using this, manufacturing test model and doing test will be useless.

Inductive power transfer (IPT) is an attractive power transmission solution that is already used in many applications. In the IPT system, optimal coil design is essential to achieve high power efficiency, but the effective design method is yet to be investigated. The inductance formula and finite element method (FEM) are popular means to link the coil geometric parameters and circuit parameters; however, the former lacks generality and accuracy, and the latter consumes much computation time. This study proposes a novel coil design method to achieve speed and generality without much loss of accuracy. By introducing one-turn permeance simulation in each FEM phase combined with curve fitting and optimization by MATLAB in the efficiency calculation phase, the iteration number of FEM can be considerably reduced, and the generality can be retained. The proposed method is verified through a 100 W IPT system experiment.

Polymerization shrinkage stress analysis of dimethacrylate-based composite (Clearfil AP-X, Kuraray) and silorane-based composite (Filtek P90, 3M ESPE) used for dental composite restorations was performed using strain-gage measurement and FEM analysis. A theoretical equation based on Young's modulus and polymerization shrinkage of the composite resin was proposed to predict the polymerization shrinkage stress. Experimental results showed that the maximum shrinkage stress of Clearfil AP-X was about 2.8 times higher than Filtek P90. FEM analysis agreed with such experimental stress behaviours and showed that the maximum Von-Mises stress appeared near the margin of the filled resin adhered with PMMA ring. The stress concentration at the interface on the specimen surface was higher than that in the interior. The maximum error of shrinkage stress by the theoretical equation was reasonable within 5% in comparison to FEM results under plane stress.

This paper analyzed the characteristics of the claw pole PM stewing motor by using 3D FEM. As the magnetization occurs along the z-axis of the motor, it is necessary to apply 3D FEM for analysis of the claw pole PM stewing motor. Considering the computation time, reducing the number of the analysis model is effective method of the methods of the reducing analysis time. By using the "Design Of Experiments(DOE)", efficient analysis was able to be done. To see the effects of the design factors, the 3D FEM is applied only to the selected models. As the design factors, the teeth selected models, the number of turns and the permanent magnet overhang was selected.

In this paper, a FEM analysis model was developed to solve the consolidation phenomena of embankment on the soft foundation. The developed FEM model was based on the Biot's consolidation equation which was coupled with one of three stress-strain constitutive relationships. In order to check the validity of the newly developed FEM model, the program input data were used by a test embankment which had been already constructed at Cubzac-les-ponts in France by Magnan et al. The FEM results compared to the experimental and analytical results which were obtained by the Magnan's group at Cubzac-les-ponts. The results compared showed that the consolidation phenomena were well explained by the author's FEM model which results were more accurate than the others. As for the pore water pressure, Christian-Boehmer's method used in this paper was considered preferable to Sandhu-Wilson's used by Magnan.

A nonlinear finite element model (FEM) using ATENA-3D software to simulate the axially compressive behavior of circular steel tube confined concrete (CSTCC) columns infilled with ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) was presented in this paper. Some modifications to the material type "CC3DNonlinCementitious2User" of UHPC without and with the incorporation of steel fibers (UHPFRC) in compression and tension were adopted in FEM. The predictions of utimate strength and axial load versus axial strain curves obtained from FEM were in a good agreement with the test results of eighteen tested columns. Based on the results of FEM, the load distribution on the steel tube and the concrete core was derived for each modeled column. Furthermore, the effect of bonding between the steel tube and the concrete core was clarified by the change of friction coefficient in the material type "CC3DInterface" in FEM. The numerical results revealed that the increase in the friction coefficient leads to a greater contribution from the steel tube, a decrease in the ultimate load and an increase in the magnitude of the loss of load capacity. By comparing the results of FEM with experimental results, the appropriate friction coefficient between the steel tube and the concrete core was defined as 0.3 to 0.6. In addition to the numerical evaluation, eighteen analytical models for confined concrete in the literature were used to predict the peak confined strength to assess their suitability. To cope with CSTCC stub and intermediate columns, the equations for estimating the lateral confining stress and the equations for considering the slenderness in the selected models were proposed. It was found that all selected models except for EC2 (2004) gave a very good prediction. Among them, the model of Bing et al. (2001) was the best predictor.
